Quake Watch 2013

About the monitor alarm sound Strong (7/11/2011)]
If the condition becomes colored more than 20%, or more green points observed within the 15x15 pixels around the point that is the green or yellow is
the center of the display frame above lasted for more than four seconds, Earthquake alarm will sound to determine the occurrence. Also displays the
alert mark at the same time.
Please note that for example, when widespread strong shaking, but there are things that the alarm will sound intermittently for a long period of
time.
Rather than by way of earthquake early warning, alarm sound, so this is what you are to judge from the number of strong-motion color on the monitor
only, please refer to each institution, such as those of the actual earthquake information.

About the audio (2011/6/29 ~)]
Has put out a sine wave of 30Hz ~ 10kHz in proportion to the (absolute value) of the amplitude of the vibration waveform (Rch) Ibaraki (Lch) · Chiba
(Center) · Tokyo MeSO-net.
Vibration data that is being supplied by MeSO-net is 20 seconds sample /, it is changing the pitch every 0.05 seconds.
The higher the sound is now shaking big lot.

About the graph of MeSO-net]
Graph Eventhough "14" factor drawing is the default for confusing shaking detailed in "14", here is "lower 11" upper graph is based on a state that
increases the sensitivity slightly as "13".
The upper and lower graphs in time and amplitude the same data are displayed only different.
It is a unit of amplitude, especially since there is no notation on page Eventhough, this does not know what it's cm, width or shaking.
"In addition, Ibaraki" "Chiba" "Tokyo" in the upstream (left graph), "(junior high Yamanakako) Yamanashi Lake Yamanaka" "(Shonangakuen) Fujisawa,
Kanagawa," "(Elementary School Bessho) Hachioji, Tokyo" Show (right graph) are.
(From HP was examined MeSO-net related code data capture additional observation point)

and I don't believe in this earthquake prediction site, but I would not say it is somehow totally off to say that there will be a big one soon. maybe
not today, but give it 2 or 3 days and something over 6.5 will happen. it is no magic or prediction. it is normal somewhere in Japan

btw. If I predict something, it would be 7.0+ between papua new guinea and santa cruz within 5 days from now

I would say that given the previous 46 earthquakes, then an upsurge in the 20 minutes before the Main Shock of 15 quakes/20 minutes there was adequate
warning.
Currently doing a project on L'Aquilla my mind is on what happened there, where there was plenty of warning.
Not so obvious to the analysts in California maybe, because not so many events to work with, but still an alert/warning could have been issued 10
minutes before.
Look at Japan, they have the technology in place and working to give 30 seconds warning across to the other side of the country of a large event
occurring, enough time to prepare/brace yourself, or say if you were working on a 30ft ladder or something? time to climb down so you don't fall on
your head when the quake hits. (assuming its a text alert on your mobile phone)

Of course this doesn't work everywhere, California (San Andreas in particular) is one of the few areas where there are foreshocks to Main quakes on a
regular basis.
I hope someone at USGS studies all these earthquake series and can see the same thing happening. How long do they wait before alerting the public, 100
quakes? 200?
Brawley was a classic example, they waited until the Mag 5's before anything was said, luckily some folks on ATS seen the trend going on.

A Mag 6?, of course, WHEN is the big question.

place!

Of course the people who find the earthquakes haven't got the time to analyze them right away, but given the billions of $ damage that a even a
moderate-strong quake can cause and the deaths and injuries resulting, wouldn't it make sense to have a few people on a $50,000 a year salary sitting
around keeping an eye on the incoming data? The more time spent doing it the better they would get at it. There are plenty of people out there
looking for a job. Put them on something useful rather than paying them to sit at home on the dole.
Even the Insurance industry could fund it.
Geonet (NZ) is partly funded by the Earthquake Commission (which partly pays out for damage caused by earthquakes), but it doesn't go far enough
IMO.

I'm going to use this post to continue a rant from a week or so ago. I'll post two shots of Yellowstone. It's not local noise, because it's
widespread. Heck, maybe mining. Forget most of the noise on YMR. Whatever it was, it appears to be something near the park and moving. Hence, my
paranoid view that helicopters are monitoring The park because of some changes. ???
what do i know

I agree.... You would think they would fund such a position. There are many looking for jobs and this is something that would indeed save lives.

Thankfully we have ATS Quake Watch experts such as you and PM ...but... it would be nice if they paid you to do what you do. Its a lot of work and I
know we all appreciate ALL the hard work you guys and gals do.

some of those signals look like they have a long period between the P wave and the S wave, which means "distant", you would need to check the times
against a list events of the whole planet to eliminate distant quakes.
For example that black one on the 04:00 line on the 2nd graph is probably the Eastern Siberia 5.8 and the Red one on the 08:00 would be the Alaska
5.0
There are others who write on this thread who can read those graphs better than I can though.

Sorry, shoud have been more specific. UTC time on the right, it starts about 18:14. Normally, I'd say it was just noise, but it shows elsewhere, and
far away. And, I can't find anything on USGS to account for it. I've come to reconize most of the mining signals. These just don't fit somehow.

"A report published by the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission,said More than 10,000 people could die when — not if — a monster
earthquake and tsunami occur just off the Pacific Northwest coast

They told Oregon legislators after the Legislature authorized the study of what would happen if a quake and tsunami such as the one that devastated
Japan hit the Pacific Northwest

Oregon legislators requested the study so they could better inform themselves about what needs to be done to prepare and recover from such a giant
natural disaster

The report says that geologically, Oregon and Japan are mirror images but Japan was way more prepared for such an event because it had spent billions
on technology to reduce the damage "
